Glenn Beck is no longer a Republican.

“Then we saw now how rotted the Republican is. There’s no saving it. Don’t give another dime to the Republican party. We tried to do it from the inside. They are knifing us from the inside,” Beck was quoted as saying on his website.

He continued:

“I have made my decision. I am out. I am not a Republican. I will not give a dime to the Republican party. I am out. I highly recommend run from the Republican party.

“All this stuff that they ran on and they said they were doing all these great things. They were going to stand against ObamaCare and everything else. They set us up. They are torpedoing the Constitution and they are doing it knowingly. They are taking on people like Mike Lee and Ted Cruz and torpedoing them knowingly.” “Four years ago, I wasn’t. I said work from the inside. Let’s change it, let’s get new guys in there. I think it’s too late.”
